The World Food Program has recently announced that with the arrival of winter, millions of families in Afghanistan are facing cold without enough food.
Today (Monday, December 16), the program stated on its X account that most of those in need are forced to make an impossible choice.
It further mentioned that these families have to choose between feeding their children or keeping them warm.
The World Food Program had previously stated that 14.8 million people in Afghanistan would need urgent assistance in the upcoming winter.
Additionally, OCHA, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, has indicated that $603.5 million is urgently needed to address vulnerable areas in Afghanistan during the winter season.
This office had requested $3.06 billion for humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan this year; however, it is reported that part of this funding has been secured.
According to OCHA, over 23 million people in Afghanistan are in need of assistance.
Foreign relief organizations have also predicted that a difficult winter awaits the people of Afghanistan.
